His family will always remember him as their biggest supporter and a source of endless love and encouragement.
Jay was a successful land developer and home builder, known for his work ethic and vision. Outside of his professional accomplishments, he was an avid hunter, golfer, and card player.

May Jay rest in peace. My condolences to his family and friends. The Word of God tells us to forgive, & i have forgiven from a long time ago. Jay Trautmann was a good man. I didn't know about his passing until today, Saturday the 18th, as i looked through the internet.

Jay was always a joy to be around. Always a smile on his face and something humorous to say. I first saw Jay when he was three years old at the old Laredo Country Club swimming pool at the Casa Blanca golf course. I was eight years older than Jay, but he was the star of day, doing flips off the diving board and all manner of tricks. Nobody could keep up with him. Over the years I enjoyed playing golf and cards with him. Gone too soon, he will be missed. My condolences to Annalee and to all of his family members.
